For the most part that setting is applied to the OPAC to determine if
a login attempt is via a username or a barcode.
Anything that matches that format is a barcode. Anything that doesn't
is a username.
I know of nothing in evergreen that currently tries to validate patron
barcodes at all at registration, or that tries to validate item
barcodes beyond "strict" mode in some interfaces that does checksum
calcs.

Quoting Tim Spindler <[email protected]>:
I have set up a regex for this "[Dd2]{1}[0-9]{9,13}" which is designed to
allow for 10-14 digit barcodes that can begin with d (small or upper case)
or a 2. I entered this in the library setting at the top level (c/w mars)
and it seems to do nothing. I thought it would validate the data entered
to see if it matches the regex.
